First Consultation with a Fertility Specialist

We were referred to Dr. Hudson at the Victoria Fertility Centre. We had to wait about six months to get into see him. Our initial consultation  was in July 2015. He reviewed our blood tests and the semen analyses. He ordered blood tests, gave me a pelvic ultrasound in the office, ordered a further semen analysis for my husband, and I was sent for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG).

In the intervening time between our first and second visit to Dr. Hudson, we both had our blood tests done. My husband had another semen analysis done. I had the HSG test done. This test is where they pump contrast dye into your uterus to see if your fallopian tubes are blocked (under X-ray). The test takes about two minutes but caused intense cramping for me (that's normal) so it was like getting a second period in a month (it causes bleeding too).

The HSG results were normal. The blood tests were normal. The semen analysis was basically the same.

We both researched further vitamin supplements for fertility. We took even more vitamins. We did not conceive.
